Practical Identity and Narrative Agency

Kim Atkins Β· 2013
80/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Atkins and Mackenzie assembled a high-caliber set of essays that make a genuine intellectual contribution by shifting personal identity questions from metaphysics to practical philosophy. The Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews endorsement and Routledge publication confirm its scholarly standing, and the four-part thematic structure gives it more coherence than most edited collections. This is a book for academic philosophers; general readers need not apply.
